Got an offer from Bridgewater. It’s a back office support role. Decent raise but I’m also on track for manager this year so the compensation isn’t that better. Main question is, do you think Bridgewater can open up more opportunities than Big 4 (I’m in IT advisory)

^My friend who used to work there experienced a cruel and legitimately silly firing from them as a result of their “radical transparency” process.

Your market value is significantly higher after making manager (maybe not B4 comp but may want to re-visit after you get the promo).

Tough question... a little bit BI and a little bit finance/accounting

Back office is back office. At least at big 4 you're a revenue generating unit not a cost centre

Not contradicting my comment above, but I agree with most replies here. Your career prospects at Big 4 will be better than back office at Bridgewater.

DM me. I can provide color

HR flat out rejected 20 saying business will not approve. what is the max they will give after providing counter offer? And if i join around November, when will i be eligible for next appraisal? They are offering c1 band.

Hi fishes,

I received an offer from big 4 with 60% hike. My managers wants to retain and I asked them to match if you want me to be retained.
Now I got a call from GPM yesterday. He used harsh words like "being greedy" "selfish" etc and offered me 30% in the end.
I politely declined but he asked me to reconsider as he said "it would be unfair for the org for you to leave so soon."

Let me know a proper response.

Also what do you think of this behavior by GPM?
